Expensive because the experience is too short and limited. Expensive because the experience is too short and limited.

Wonderful experience! Beautiful, interesting vision with a historic personal vision now shared with the public. Wish we were staying longer to experience the sunset views!
Can’t get my ticket....
Jacob_W, Feb 2026
Can’t get my ticket. Waste of time and money. Says to go in the email in the app, and then the email brings me to the app. Stupid circle that contradicts itself. Just buy your ticket here.
Response from Host, Feb 2026
Dear Jacob, We regret that you had trouble purchasing the tickets. If you haven't visited yet, I can send you the tickets in PDF format. Best regards Carla
Fascinating

Take the entrance in advance, set aside enough time to stroll through the place and enjoy the Art, History and true experience on the seaside.
Itinerary
Museo – Taller de Casapueblo
Casapueblo is a building constructed by the Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró. It is located in Punta Ballena, 8.1 miles (13 kilometers) from Punta del Este, Uruguay. It was originally a summer house and workshop of the artist. It now houses a museum, an art gallery, a cafeteria and a hotel. It was the permanent residence of its creator, where he worked and spent his last days.
In the main dome of Casapueblo are the museum and workshop where you can see part of the work of the late painter, potter, sculptor, muralist, writer, composer and builder Carlos Páez Vilaró. It has four exhibition halls: Nicolás Guillén Room, Pablo Picasso Room, Rafael Squirm Room, José Gómez Sicre Room, projection room, the Mermaid Terrace, Hippocampus Viewpoint, Taberna del Rayo Verde, coffee shop and boutique.
Every afternoon since 1994, the Ceremony of the Sun is performed on the terraces of the museum. Minutes before sunset, the artist's voice from a recording dedicates a poem to the sun to bid the sun farewell.
